There are already well over 700 crowdfunding platforms currently, with Kickstarter, indiegogo, crowdcube, kiva being the most known. For business, research or design reasons, many are looking to start their own crowdfunding platform. We’ve built a list of open source crowdfunding frameworks on which to build upon:

Designed for equity crowdfunding (Crowdcube being a leading equity crowdfunding platform in the UK)

Note: Please comment below if you know any other platform. Thanks.

Great resource, thanks for sharing this.

I suggest you to take a look at what we have created with Crowd Valley (www.crowdvalley.com). We give the possibility to the people to create their own white label equity based crowdfunding platform in few minutes.

Our infrastructure includes the platform on a SaaS model, back office
packages compliant with US regulation, support services, and the
functionality to create and service interconnected networks,
enabling users to maintain and operate via single profiles on
multiple platforms.

Did not realize there were a few nice opensource alternatives. This is good to know. Thank you for the list.

At the moment I am knee deep into writing out a solid business plan, business model, and doing market research. Which route I take will depend on if I can draw enough interest in the project.

Hi, thanks a lot for the list. Found that all of it is raising fund in $, what if I want a website that for people to donate non-$ directly, for e.g. food, cloth and etc ?

NCrypted has recently launched Fundraiser (Enterprise Edition) which is a very innovative crowdfunding and fundraising platform. It is a commercial license coded in PHP and comes open source, 100% customizable as per the product page on their site http://www.ncrypted.net/fundraiser .

Great info, thanks. I was looking for an open platform that would work like a GoFundMe or KickStarter, where I would host the domain and website, and others in need could start their own projects going through my website.
Most of the open source platforms I’ve found seem to work as if I wanted to start my own single fundraiser.

Does anyone know of an open platform that would work like a GoFundMe or KickStarter? Cost is an issue, as I’ve found several that charge insane amounts of money on the front end for their “white label” program, as well as taking a very greedy part of the donated money on the back end.

The niche I want to start is very humanitarian, and I want to get into it more to help a very specific small niche medical need for kids whose parents cannot afford the help their children need and deserve.

Good work sparky but sometimes you need developer to customize your crowd funding platform when you are not coder or you don’t know it. I represent a very responsive team who is good, expert and professional enough to customize their crowd funding script for you according to your customization. Visit: http://fundraisingscript.com/
